@XFreeze Africans are still selling each other into slavery. There are present day slave markets in Libya.

There is absolutely no reason to blame white people for slavery, and it makes no sense. Africans sold their own into slavery, yet white people are blamed for eternity White people ended slavery. The entire modern world was built on Western civilization, and the whole world is thriving because of it Stop doing this white guilt thing

@Asmongold @ComicDaveSmith America does not have “magic ground” that fundamentally changes who people are when they arrive here. If we filter for high work ethic, talent & trustworthiness, we will get that. If we don’t, we will inherit all the problems of the countries those people are leaving. The end.

@Recongmb @Timcast Well, I'm Jewish. So I don't believe Jesus was the messiah. So no. But then again I can't prove he ain't. That's why it's called faith and not history.

@AdiMarcus1 @Timcast You mean Jesus?

the return?

@elonmusk When I was a kid bazooka joe promised me I'll get to the moon by my 21st birthday. I'm 54 and still haven't been there... Hope springs eternal ;)

SpaceX will build a system that allows anyone to travel to Moon. This will so insanely cool 🚀💫🤩

@elonmusk @elonmusk what do you know that is not general knowledge? why the urgency?

For those unaware, SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.

@MarcusHouse This is a very bad idea. It will allow various governmental agencies to shove their nose into spacex and make it a lot more vulnerable the next time democrats are in power.

SpaceX are going public. That is a big shift! Things are going to speed up big time.

@DrStarson @elonmusk I loved that series.

@elonmusk We are approaching the world described in We Are Legion Series by Taylor! An epic story of Von Neumann probes exploring the universe and saving humanity 🪐

Optimus will be the Von Neumann probe

@elonmusk Why makes the moon better than a deep salt mine on earth?

Quantum computing is best done in the permanently shadowed craters on the Moon

@Erdayastronaut I don't have to tell you how difficult it is to create reusable. If your purpose is just to plant a flag, pick up a couple of rocks and go back, It's not necessary. Reusable is only mandatory because of Elon's massive mars colonization ambitions.

@AdiMarcus1 So they built this but didn't have reusable or at least a fleet of super cheap rockets at their disposal? 😅

I was rewatching one of my all time favorite movies, The Martian, last night and something stood out to me! (Spoilers) One of the funniest things to look back on already is that rockets are this finite and very bespoke thing still. They’ve landed on Mars and built Hermes mega ship, but the still don’t have any fleet of rockets. When the Iris probe launch failed, they were like “well, crap, we don’t have anymore rockets!” And China’s like “oh wait, we do!” “YAY!”. Yet they built out this mega ship and landed on Mars but are still like "oh no, we're out of rockets!" To be fair, when @andyweirauthor wrote it, no one was thinking about a world where we're launching basically every day already, let alone the cadence we'll be at in the next 10 years.

@basilthegreat It serves them right, European people deserve to get murdered, especially women. They voted to let those animals in and felt very enlightened. Nations that have been struggling with terror got lectured. Welcome to reality bitch. Real world consequences.

🚨ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIC CALL🚨 A London woman calls in and cries her eyes out in desperation "WE'RE NOT RACIST WE'RE PETRIFIED" "WHAT ARE THESE POLITICIANS DOING TO US.

@Hunter_morey @HopfJames Steam was generated in another loop by absorbing the heat to power the turbines. The entire nuclear apparatus was designed to be yanked out and shipped for maintenance. While the steam part was maintained locally.

@Hunter_morey @HopfJames Not sure about the specifics of the design of the naval commercial SMR. But I recall a land based SMR who's entire nuclear portion was a sealed component with no moving parts. It used a closed loop mercury as a heat exchange medium.

Now India is jumping on the nuclear ship propulsion band wagon. They're developing 55 MW and 200 MW SMRs, and they're saying that those reactors could be used to power large ships. Article link in reply.

@Hunter_morey @HopfJames No this is not a aircraft carrier/submarine type reactor. Those reactors need to be maintained by PhD level engineers with super strict discipline. Unlikely to exist in a civilian scenario. The whole point of a SMRs is that it practically doesn't require any maintenance.

@HopfJames Basically an aircraft carrier or submarine type reactor. Minimal stoppage/refueling. Big problems would be approval of other countries to pull into ports with a reactor on board.
